Which team did Barcelona beat in the 2009 Champions League final, with Messi scoring?

Barcelona beat Manchester United in the 2009 Champions League final, with Lionel Messi scoring Barcelona’s second goal. Barcelona won 2–0 at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico on 27 May 2009.

Samuel Eto’o opened the scoring in the first half after cutting inside from the right. In the 70th minute, Xavi delivered a cross that Messi met with a looping header over Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. It was an unusual type of goal for Messi, who was better known for scoring with his left foot after dribbling through defenders.

The victory completed Barcelona’s historic treble of La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League. It also made the final memorable for Messi’s duel with Cristiano Ronaldo, who started for the defending champions Manchester United.

A frequent mix-up is the 2011 Champions League final, another Barcelona victory over Manchester United. Barcelona also won that match, 3–1, but the question refers to the 2009 final in Rome.
